Fabric shopping here I come!
 

I am retiring this Friday and am looking forward to doing more quilting. My department gave me a little going away party last week and presented me with a $100.00 gift card from Joann's. Another co-worker gave me a $20.00 gift card from Joann's. You can probably guess where I will be in a week or so. I received a flyer on Saturday saying that there will be a good sale the week of Jan. 6. Yippee!!! :):):)

I was there yesterday to pick up Velcro for a church project. Since I had a 40% and a 50% coupon, I bought myself a new cutting mat and a Fons & Porter marking pencil....my own Christmas gifts!! I knew exactly what I wanted! :) Have fun!

Congrats! You will be amazed, however, at how quickly your day goes. The old maxim about "I don't know how I had time to work" is really true!

Congratulations on your retirement and welcome to the 'don't know how I had time to work' club.

Congrats on retirement. I never wanted to work so my retirement has a double blessing. For the most part my time is my own and I love every minute! Quilt on!

Congratulations on retiring! As you sew during the day, I hope your days are as long as they were when you worked. :D

Good for you! I've been semi retired for the last 6 years, picking up a part time job whenever I felt the urge!

Congratulations! I hope you have a terrific retirement.
When the last child finished college I handed in my resignation that very day. I haven't regretted it one minute. I love waking up and doing exactly what I want to do for the day.

Congrats, enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations and welcome to the most fun ever!

Congratulations on your retirement and enjoy your quilting.

Congrats on your retirement. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I do.

I just got a mailing today w a coupon good Jan 5-7 (Sun-Tues) for 25% off your entire purchase. I believe you can find it on-line, if you didn't get one. Have fun!

Congratulations on the retirement.
I bet you spend more than the gift cards are worth. I know I always do. I'm like a kid in a candy store, so I don't go often.

Yes, congrats.!! Enjoy spending your gift cards. Do you have a specific project in mind? Or just going to add to your stash?

Congratulations on your retirement! You'll enjoy it!

Congratulations on your retirement. Sounds like you must have been telling everyone at work what you plan to do with your time now! Enjoy it.

Now that's the way to start your retirement. Congratulations and enjoy every minute of your new found freedom. It's a pretty sweet time of your life.

Congratulations. It is great.

I am staying away from Joann's went today and got in a four car accident......not fun! But congrats on the retirement and your shopping trip.

Happy, Happy retirement. The freedom is amazing, just being able to decide what you want to do without the long list of have to dos. Have fun!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes on my retirement. I plan on enjoying it as much as possible.
Joyce, that is the flyer that I got a couple days ago. I'm waiting until Jan 5-7 to shop. That way I can use any 50% off coupons in addition to the 25% off total purchase coupon. What a deal, huh?

Best wishes on your retirement - have fun!!

Congratulations! Don't you just love gift cards?

Congratulations on your retirement. I hope you have loads of fun shopping and quilting. Merry Christmas.

Congratulations! Time flies quickly, enjoy each stitch!

Congrats on your retirement!

How do you get mailers from Joann's? I get the emails but no hard copies. Sales are about the only time I can afford to shop there.

Congratulations on your retirement and the wonderful gift cards that you received. I hope you take advantage of all the after Christmas sales and coupons. Just a little "heads up" - I have been "retired" for over 6 years due to my husband's health issues and not being able to find a job. I find that the more time I have, the less I seem to get done, but I will say that I let the time pass me by at times, although I do find time for my first love - quilting.

Rodney: You can sign up for the mailers either on line or in the store. I heard people say that they went through the steps with no results but I haven't had a problem. You can also get coupons sent directly to your cell phone.

Congratulations! I hope you have many years to enjoy your time. We all deserve our retirement, for we really do 2 or 3 full time jobs.

Enjoy your retirement! You worked hard and deserve it! Now's the time to play! :)

Happy to read of your retirement you will simply love it I know I do and really get in there and enjoy our quilting.

Enjoy your new life...I have 832 days to go But who's counting!?

Congratulations!! Enjoy your well deserved time off!!!

I retired in August. First two weeks I missed my co-workers. After that it was on to more quilting. Problem I have is keeping track of what day of the week it is and wrapping my brain around having no schedule. Doesn't take long to adjust. Enjoy!!

CONGRATS on the retirement!! I know you will enjoy each and every day to the fullest….We all look forward to future posts and projects….

Retirement is the "good life" and everything you have heard about it

Retirement is WONDERFUL.

Enjoy your new found time to play!

Congrats on your retirement! Here's to many happy sewing days ahead!
